Sermon - Ryan McCoy - Interrupted [Acts 9:1-9]
Nobody likes to be interrupted. Interruptions remind us that we’re not in control.
But one thing we see clearly in Scripture: God interrupts.
From creation, to Joseph, David, the disciples, and ultimately the Incarnation—God steps in, disrupts, and redirects. He interrupts to change us, to invite us into deeper trust and a greater life.
The story of Paul is a story of interruption. Raised in a system that resisted change, Saul was hunting down Christians. Then, in a flash, Jesus breaks in and everything changes.
God uses interruptions to help us know Him more.
They are invitations to deeper purpose and faithful service. When God calls us, He also equips us with gifts to serve His kingdom.
God’s interruptions also lead us to love one another, putting aside petty divisions and choosing Christlike love.
They aren’t easy. Interruptions bring change, and change can bring pain. But they are ultimately good. Jesus calls us to a better path, a higher way, the way of selfless love.
